Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
1t has been a very light and uneventful mar
ket, with no really new features shown. None
of the leading operators appeared to be in at
tendance OF taking much interest, and business
was confined wholly to local skirmish with Au-
gust, on which fluctuations were light, with the
close much the same as last evening. Foreign
adviceS steady and the South sending cheerful
reports of the crop under which Late months
were easy, but not offered with much freedom"

CHICAGO. July IA moderate speculative
business was transacted in wheat to-day but
the feeling was rather weaker, and prices
| averaged slightly lower Monthly deliveries
were quite heavy, and conferred mainly in the
hands of regular carriers, but considerable
wheat had been bought during the past two or
| three days for July delivery, against which
holders intended to sell deferred deliveries in
| expectation of higher prices, but the advance
not coming, considerable portion of this
Isvheat came on the market to-day for August
and September delivery, hence the heavy feel
| ing which existed. Receipts of wheat continue
| light, but the shipments are fairly large. The
| active option for the present will lie August.
| That month opened at 724c The pit, however,
was more than half deserted, and such trading
! that was done was of a very listess and spirit
| less order. No one cared TO carry an open trade
| till Tuesday, and as the great bulk of those
lately open have already been closed there was
little left for operators TO do. August gradually
declined until l. reached i11sc, and closed at
7155Ql72c. Trading in corn was fairly large, the
market ruling moderately active, with the feel
ing steady. Advces from several sections Of
the corn belt were more favorable regarding the
growing crops, rain being reported In many
localities Trading consisted mainly in trans
ferring July contracts to more deferred op-
tons, though considerable corn was sold for
country accounts. The delivery of July con.
tracts were hardly as large expected, though
quite liberal August opened at ao16c, and sold
with slight fluctuations 10 3Sc, closing at 1850
3T94c. Oats were weaker, the demand having
fallen off, owing to shorts having got pretty
well covered, and late rains causing easier
feeling as to the growing crop. August ranged
140l3sc lower, opening at 2636c, and selling
down TO the close at 26l1c. Considerable in
terest was manifested in the provision market,
and trading was quite brisk. July contract de-
liveries were moderately free. Packing in the
West is gradually decreasing and the consump-
tive demand is quite good at distributing CEN
tres. Mess pork continues dull, July being
quotable at Sl5Gl16, Lard was fairly active
August opened at So 20, declined TO 81 6713, and
closed at So TO- Short ribs we're frmer August
opened at 81 60, and sold up to S770, the
closing price.
